Evil Bible Quote of the Day for June 1, 2004 from www.EvilBible.com:

How Many Gods? (Deuteronomy 32:8 RSV)

"When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he
separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples according to
the number of the sons of God." (Deuteronomy 32:8 RSV)

(Also see Psalms 86:8 RSV) "There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like thine."


What kind of person would get their moral guidance from an ancient book of
myths and magic that says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder?

Are you trying to suggest that 'sons of God' means other deities? Lame.

The Jews lived amongst many polytheistic cultures. Obviously their God,
being the only one, was incomparable to the other fictional ones.

I know of one "son of God" that Christians believe is a deity. He also
believed that he was the only son of God.

Christianity is a polytheistic religion. The only problem is that most
Christians think that 1+1+1 =1.

The early books of the Bible clearly show that the Jews thought that there
were several Gods, that's why they had different names for them. Later on
the Christians and Jews had to change that and claim that they were all
different names for the same God.

Also see Genesis 6 for more about the sons of God.

The sons of god are the angels. When angels do it with human women
they produce giants or the Zamzummims. There fossil remains have yet
to be discovered.

Angels are spirit, they have no bodies to do 'it' with. As for Zamzummims...
I dunno.
I lived next door to the Zammins for a while... Noah and Gertie, nice folks.

Just because it's in the bible doesn't mean it's true. That
book is full of lies. It starts with a lie and goes down

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

Where should archaeologist look for these bones?
I assume in the Middle East as that is where the
"Garden of Eden" was supposed to be located - but
could you give some more specific area?

How deep do the archaeologists need to plan on
digging? Some digs need to dig a hundred feet or
more to reach the correct level. This requires
more tools than a dig some feet in depth. Just
an estimate would be informative.

I think they found the talking donkey. His name is Shrek. Or is that the
name of his giant friend?

I think the talking ass (a donkey is an ass) should be made the official
mascot of the Bible. It seems to express the essence of the true believer.

The Jews lived amongst many polytheistic cultures. Obviously their
God, being the only one, was incomparable to the other fictional
ones.
Christianity is a polytheistic religion. The only problem is that
most Christians think that 1+1+1 =1.
The early books of the Bible clearly show that the Jews thought that
there were several Gods, that's why they had different names for them.
Later on the Christians and Jews had to change that and claim that
they were all different names for the same God.
Also see Genesis 6 for more about the sons of God.
The sons of god are the angels. When angels do it with human women
they produce giants or the Zamzummims. There fossil remains have yet

Angels are mostly minor gods in the Christian pantheon. I hadn't heard
speculation that they breed with humans before. What sect believes that?

The Jews lived amongst many polytheistic cultures. Obviously their
God, being the only one, was incomparable to the other fictional
ones.
Christianity is a polytheistic religion. The only problem is that
most Christians think that 1+1+1 =1.
The early books of the Bible clearly show that the Jews thought that
there were several Gods, that's why they had different names for them.
Later on the Christians and Jews had to change that and claim that
they were all different names for the same God.
Also see Genesis 6 for more about the sons of God.
The sons of god are the angels. When angels do it with human women
they produce giants or the Zamzummims. There fossil remains have yet
to be discovered.
Angels are mostly minor gods in the Christian pantheon. I hadn't heard

If I'm not mistaken, our georgann, "Miss Queen of the Diagram" believes that the
angels came down, bred with mortal women and the result thereof built the
pyramids.

They just did it like most of the Bible characters; they lay with them
by force.

Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they
were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also
after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,
and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown.

Why look for fossils? Why aren't there angels/demons copulating with women

The Jews lived amongst many polytheistic cultures. Obviously
their God, being the only one, was incomparable to the other
fictional ones.
Christianity is a polytheistic religion. The only problem is that most
Christians think that 1+1+1 =1.
Trinity. 1is1is1=1. 3 aspects of the same being.
We all know the illogical excuse about the trinity. Some of us just laugh
at the stupidity of it all.
There is nothing illogical about the Trinity as far as I can see. To
be more clear, there are versions of the doctrine of the Trinity that
are logically consistent (you might wish to consider the chapter on
the Trinity in the book co-authored by William Lane Craig and James
Porter Moreland, "Philosophical Foundations for a Christian
Worldview"). For example, here is a logically consistent version of
Trinity Monotheism:

(1) There is one God.
(2) This one God is multipersonal, and comprised of three
persons: the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
(3) Jesus is God in a sense of predication.
(4) The Father is God in a sense of predication.
(5) The Holy Spirit is God in a sense of predication.
(6) None of the persons are identical to either of the other two.
(7) The Godhead is not identical to any of the persons.

Keep in mind I am not asserting that this description is true (i.e.
that it reflects reality). I am simply arguing that this is not
logically incoherent.

The only propositions that one might have trouble grapsing are (3) (4)
and (5), especially if one is not familiar with the philosophical
distinction between predication and identity. So, to help explain the
notion of being God in a sense of predication, I will quote from
Craig's debate with Shabir Ally on the subject of the Islamic
conception of God vs the Christian conception. In the debate, Craig
originally made the Trinity analogous to a triangle - one shape, with
three angles each being a part of the whole. Ally complained that each
angle is not itself a triangle, and Craig responded as follows:

"I don't want to distract the debate to be a debate tonight about
the deity of Christ. I want to simply say let's assume the
Christian doctrine of the Trinity is what it is, and the question
is: is that rational to hold to? And all Shabir actually could
say here was that in a triangle each angle was not a triangle,
but according to the doctrine of the Trinity, each person is God.
This is simply based on a misunderstanding Shabir. The 'is' in
the statement 'Jesus is God' is not an 'is' of identity. It's
not like saying 'Cicero is Tully,' where those are simply two
different names of the same person - an 'is' of identity. Rather,
this is an 'is' of predication. It's like saying 'the couch is
red'. You don't mean that the couch is a color; you mean that
the couch has the property of being red. Similarly, when you say
'Jesus is God, the Father is God, the [Holy Ghost] is God,' that
is to say that they are all divine - they all share attributes
of deity. This is not an 'is' of identity, and unless you
understand that, you're bound to be confused. So, it is simply
not the case that according to the classic doctrine of the
Trinity that the Godhead as a whole is identical to any one of
the three persons. It is very much like a triangle, where you
have one entity comprised of three angles, or one entity
comprised of three persons. And if that is the doctrine, then
I ask you what is rationally objectionable about that? That is
the doctrine I believe, and I see nothing irrational about it."
[William Lane Craig, in his debate with Shabir Ally, "The Concept
of God in Islam and Christianity," McMaster University, March
6, 2002]

So, Craig specifically states that when his version of the doctrine
puts forth the assertion "Jesus is God," it puts forth a copula of
predication, not a copula of identity. The reality is that Craig's
position is perfectly in line with the gospel of John. Commenting on
John 1:1, Raymond Brown writes:

"Since Chrysostom's time, commentators have recognized that each
of the three uses of "was" in vs. 1 has a different connotation:
existence, relationship, and predication respectively."
[Raymond E. Brown (ed.), "The Gospel According to John,"
(Doubleday, 1996), Vol. 1, p. 4]

So, Craig's doctrine would hold to the following propositions:

(1) Jesus is the Logos.
(2) The Logos is God.
(3) Jesus is God.

The first proposition is an identity statement, so whatever is true of
the Logos is true of Jesus. The second proposition is straight out of
John 1:1, and employs a copula of predication (and the grammar of the
Greek supports this). The third proposition also employs a copula of
predication, and is simply inferred from (1) and (2). We could think
of these propositions being rendered into formal logic as follows:

(1) j = l
(2) Gl
(3) Gj

I hope that is sufficient enough for explaining the third, fourth and
fifth propositions of the seven point statement laid out above. In
those seven propositions, we have a doctrine of the Trinity which is
neither logically incoherent nor Biblically inconsistent, therefore I
see nothing rationally objectionable about a Christian holding to such
a position.

(1) There is one God.
There are thousands of gods, the author;s first error.
Post by Nico Demusopelous
(2) This one God is multipersonal, and comprised of three

IOW, it is a MPD persona, or else there are three aspects, though not

(3) Jesus is God in a sense of predication.

Again, this makes no sense.

(5) The Holy Spirit is God in a sense of predication.

That is good, for that reality is not found in the world. But then,

You see, none of your gods are predictive gods. They are, in the case of

That's a real gem. I guess you don't understand the Trinity too well
do you? The affirmation of believers in the Trinity is that God is
one. Admittedly, God is conceived of as being tri-personal, i.e.
comprised of three persons, but it is nonetheless agreed that these
three persons are not three different gods. There are very sensible
and logically coherent models of Trinity Monotheism. I could recommend
a book or two, or simply discuss it here with you.

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

First of all, you were the one who asserted that the Trinity is
"illogical". I gave a logically consistent model of the Trinity here:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=2c68d44e.0406031638.15ad54f0%40posting.google.com

I'm not just asserting that it is logically consistent. I used the
proper definition of "logically consistent" taught in logic classes:
it is logically consistent if it is not logically inconsistent, and it
is logically inconsistent if it is impossible for all the propositions
found therein to be true. Because it is possible for all the
propositions to be true (i.e. no two propositions contradict one
another), then it is logically consistent.

You said:
(1) There is one God.
(2) This one God is multipersonal, and comprised of three
persons: the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
(3) Jesus is God in a sense of predication.
(4) The Father is God in a sense of predication.
(5) The Holy Spirit is God in a sense of predication.
(6) None of the persons are identical to either of the other two.
(7) The Godhead is not identical to any of the persons.

Then you went on to explain that numbers 3, 4, and 5 actually mean something
like:
(3) Jesus is a part of God
(4) The Father is a part of God.
(5) The Holy Spirit is a part of God.

I asked you before and I'll ask you again, is it your position is that God
is an organization of three different entities and not an independent being?

Would depend on your mathematical model, don't know myself, & not

quadrinity [goddess no less]. However, they were in place from the
beginning & not the new addition xianity uses. An addition based on a
desire I understand not, when it is based on the Jewish mythology to start
with. That mythology is based on the Canaanite mythology. Took time to
track the sucker down, as well as freedom from the death penalty for doing
so, but tracked down it was.

How so, was he less biased as a historian, say the Methodist preachers
attack & apologetic of 1845. What he did was very rare, he simply recorded
the information that was still available, he pointed no fingers, he decried
no dogma. He pointed out the known portion & part played by xianity during
the decline & fall of the Roman Empire. He espoused no dogma, nor pointed
any fingers. IOW, he did what was necessary & left the hand wringing to
others.
Since the publication was first published, new information & sources have
dome to light, some old sources he quoted are now lost. Does that make him
any less a historian? Serious question BTW.

As a side note, I use him for Roman history, & xian activity's were/are
part of that history.
Now, if you can show where he was less than honest in his publication, I
would like to be made aware of that. If you can show where he deliberately
discarded information that was germane to his work, I would also like to
know.
Other than that, he is a handy starting point were one seriously interested
in the subject he devoted considerable effort, time, & money to.

Huh? I think you either misunderstood me, or don't understand the
concept of logically consistent. The claim was that the doctrine of
the Trinity is "illogical". What I did was give a basic version of the
doctrine that was logically consistent. Then I gave the proper
definition of logical consistency. Recall that I wrote: "it is
logically consistent if it is not logically inconsistent, and it is
logically inconsistent if it is impossible for all the propositions
found therein to be true. Because it is possible for all the
propositions to be true (i.e. no two propositions contradict one
another), then it is logically consistent."

If you're doubting this proper definition of logical consistency,
which is tauch in undergraduate intro to logic classes, let me quote
from a standard logic text book:

"A set of sentences is logically consistent if and only if it is
possible for all the members of that set to be true. A set of
sentences is logically inconsistent if and only if it is not logically
consistent."
[Merrie Bergmann, James Moor & Jack Nelson, "The Logic Book,"
(McGraw-Hill, 1998), p. 17]

Another text book explains it nicely within the context of a truth
table (which, I feel, captures all the realms of logical space
relevant to the subject):

"Truth tables may also be used to determine how two propositions are
related to each other. [...] Two (or more) propositions are consistent
if there is at least one line on which both (or all) of them turn out
to be true, and they are inconsistent if there is no line on which
both (or all) of them turn out to be true."
[Patrick J. Hurley, "A Concise Introduction to Logic," (Wadsworth,
2000), p. 329]

And to respond directly to what you wrote above, it is certainly
possible to construct a logically consistent set of propositions, a
priori, that is not circular.

Okay folks, I gotta run, but will be back monday...

I misunderstood nothing. You cannot build a logically
consistent argument based on a priori assumptions and
conjecture. No matter how you redefine things, no matter who
you quote, it cannot be done.

H.
Those Gods and Goddesses which you call
"fictional" pre-date the god of the OT by
centuries. They were worshiped by their followers
just as fervently and as passionately as, I
assume, you follow yours.

The poetry, hymns, artwork, etc. which they
created for their Gods and Goddesses rival and
sometimes surpass the writing of the bible. Their
works are still existent.....and are as
awe-inspiring as they were when created.

The christian god is just one among the many.

Ummmm, why are either of these quotes "evil"? I mean, they don't even
seem to fit your own definition of "evil" (as asserting that God has
sons, or that there might be other gods, does not really cause harm to
others). I think almost every Christian and religiously Jewish person
alive today would agree that the answer to the question "how many
gods" is "one." Regardless of whether this is consistent with the
original intention of the author of the Psalm cited above, I don't see
how this is an exhibition of "evil".

Probably the kind of person that believes the book is the word of God.
Does the Bible, however, simply say it is okay to "murder, rape,
pillage, and plunder"? Or are all instances of Biblically sanctioned
"murder, rape, pillage, and plunder" under very specific conditions?
In fact, there are verses that at least condemn murder, so your claim
that the Bible "says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder"
is simply false.

Finally, demonstrating that the Bible is in contrast to your own
subjective sense of morality does not demonstrate that it is not the
word of God (keep in mind that I am not asserting that it *is* the
word of God). I wonder, if there was a God, and he decided to create
humans and then ordered one cohort from among them to slaughter
another, would that be "evil"? If we understand God to be in
possession of infinite power, where is the wrong in creating and then
destroying human beings? Couldn't God create an infinite number of
human beings? Isn't the value of a human being, from the perspective
of such a being, worth less than the effort expended in snapping one's
"fingers"? It would seem to me to be not more "evil" than a child
drawing a picture and then ripping it up. What are your thoughts?

Yes the Bible is very specific in saying who should be murdered. Let me
list a few of these specifics:

1) Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests (Deuteronomy 17:12)

2) Kill Witches (Exodus 22:17)

3) Kill Homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13)

4) Kill Fortunetellers (Leviticus 20:27)

5) Death for Hitting Dad (Exodus 21:15)

6) Death for Cursing Parents (Proverbs 20:20 & Leviticus 20:9)

7) Death for Adultery (Leviticus 20:10)

8) Death for Fornication (Leviticus 21:9)

There are many more on my web page http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm

The fact that the Bible is riddled with contradictions does not mean that
the Bible doesn't say it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder. All
that means is that the Bible is full of contradictions.

I think this is an excellent example of the evils of religion. If you think

8) Death for Fornication (Leviticus 21:9)
There are many more on my web page http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm
However much you may disagree with those laws, those seem to be
executions rather than murders. I agree that you can murder a person
"execution style," and some executions are treated as murders if they
were not sanctioned by the state in which they happened, but the above
seems to be mostly laws for a given society, and they give the
"crimes" for which death is the penalty.

In fact, there are verses that at least condemn murder, so your claim
that the Bible "says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder"
is simply false.
The fact that the Bible is riddled with contradictions does not mean that
the Bible doesn't say it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder.
All that means is that the Bible is full of contradictions.
Well, there is a verse that very clearly says "lo tirzach," do not
murder. I know of no verse that turns around and gives the
contradiction "okay, you can murder." There are only instances of
state/societal/divine sanctioned execution or warfare. So the Bible
says it is not okay to murder, which contradicts you claim that the
Bible says it is okay to "to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder".

Finally, demonstrating that the Bible is in contrast to your own
subjective sense of morality does not demonstrate that it is not the
word of God (keep in mind that I am not asserting that it *is* the
word of God). I wonder, if there was a God, and he decided to create
humans and then ordered one cohort from among them to slaughter
another, would that be "evil"? If we understand God to be in
possession of infinite power, where is the wrong in creating and then
destroying human beings? Couldn't God create an infinite number of
human beings? Isn't the value of a human being, from the perspective
of such a being, worth less than the effort expended in snapping one's
"fingers"? It would seem to me to be not more "evil" than a child
drawing a picture and then ripping it up. What are your thoughts?
I think this is an excellent example of the evils of religion. If you
think that the murder of innocent children is moral just because you
think your "god" tells you to kill children....then,...then,.....Oh
shit, I don't know how to respond to such stupidity. I guess I'll
let my gun do the talking if I see you coming around my family.
Well, I guess we're not much for thought experiments, are we Mr.
Trigger-Happy? Also, I like how you managed to poison the well, erect
a straw man, and make an appeal to emotional all in a single sentence.
I never claimed that "the murder of innocent children is moral". The
paragraph above consisted of questions regarding whether it is evil
for a deity to destroy his own creations. This is a question that
remains unanswered.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I'm anti-death penalty. ;)

I asked you before and I'll ask you again, is it your position is
that God is an organization of three different entities and not an
independent being?
I answered this question already here:

I'm sorry. My ISP seems to have lost your reply. That seems to happen a
lot on my new ISP (Adelphia). Unfortunately, my only other choice is giving
up my high speed cable modem and going back to dial-up.

I'll repost your reply from Google:
-------------- Start Repost ---------------
That would be akin to positively asserting that the model reflects
reality, wouldn't it? What I said was "I am not asserting that this
description is true (i.e. that it reflects reality)." What I am
asserting is that the following seven points are neither logically
incoherent nor Biblically inconsistent:

(1) There is one God.
(2) This one God is multipersonal, and comprised of three
persons: the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
(3) Jesus is God in a sense of predication.
(4) The Father is God in a sense of predication.
(5) The Holy Spirit is God in a sense of predication.
(6) None of the persons are identical to either of the other two.
(7) The Godhead is not identical to any of the persons.

As for whether such a model makes God "an organization of three
different entities," I would say that it certainly does. As for
whether or not a multipersonal being is independent, I don't see why
its multipersonal ontology has to necessarily conflict with its
independence. Richard Swinburne, in his book "The Christian God," has
some wonderful stuff on models in which the will of each person is in
harmony with the wills of the other two, which would allow them to
work as a unit.

But this moves away from the original point. You claimed the Trinity
is "illogical". Do you believe the model above (and the explanation
given in this thread) is logically inconsistent?
------------- End repost ---------

What you have written above is logically consistent. It is no different
than saying that the Smith family is composed of a father, a mother, and 1
child. (However, some Christians insist that God is a single entity and the
Father, son and Holy Ghost are simply 3 different faces of the same single
entity.) The logical inconsistencies of the trinity have to do with the
properties of each of the individual entity and the properties of the
trinity.

I'll explain more, but first you need to tell me if you think that each unit
of the trinity (the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit) are omnipotent and
omniscient and whether the Godhead is omnipotent and omniscient.
